A Holly Hill woman was killed in a head-on collision on U.S. Highway 17 near Barberville Monday night, Florida Highway Patrol investigators said.

The crash occurred at 10:32 p.m. at U.S. Highway 17 and Dickie Lane, said FHP Lt. Tara Crescenzi.

The Holly Hill woman, 58, was driving south on U.S. Highway 17 in her 2007 Dodge Caliber and drifted into the northbound lanes just south of Dickie Lane and collided with a Ford F-550 that was headed north, Crescenzi said.
